If you want accurate information about the Arctic, go to the Danish Meteorological Agency. They show that the vast majority of Greenland has gained ice over the past year
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

If the graphic represents the period 1st September 2013 to 5th August 2014, wouldn’t it be expected to have a positive bias, as it would be missing a month of the melt season? I know it’s unlikely to have much effect over most of the region, but the dark blues to the South might well recede by the end of the month.
Greenland is gaining mass right now
That’s not true – it’s losing 5Gt/day at the moment. See the graph about half way down the DMI page. By the end of August it should return to positive (gaining mass) territory.
Curses! Foiled by mother nature again!
Interesting…. the ice accumulation seems to be concentrated in the southern sections… Not sure what to make of that.
The southern sections get more snow because they are near open water.
AMO going negative?
I am not a meteorologist but I think the SE coast of Greenland gets the most accumulation because it is on the northern side (easterly winds) of the many depressions which track across the North Atlantic. The SW coast (Erik the Red’s Eastern Settlement Viking Colony near Narsarsuaq) is effectively in the rain shadow of the SE mountains.
